G) Practical Flight Advice For The First Start; Trimming The Helicopter - Reely SKY I-Helicopter Bedienungsanleitung

g) Practical Flight Advice for the First Start

• Even if the model can fly in the narrowest spaces, for the first test flights, we recommend using a free space of about
3 x 3 m.
• The support should be flat (tiles, parquet flooring, or similar) to allow you to determine even before take-off if the
model tends to drift off in a particular direction.
• Place yourself exactly behind your helicopter. As long as you can see your model from behind, it will react to the
control commands: right, left, forward, backward exactly as you see it. Whereas, if the cockpit of the model points
towards you, it reacts exactly the opposite way from your steering commands at the transmitter.
• Never push the control area for the rotor speed (also see figure 5, item 9) to the bottom-most position quickly; this will
switch off the rotors at the helicopter and the model will drop like a stone.
h) Trimming the Helicopter
Push the control area for rotor speed (also see figure 5, item 9) very carefully upward and observe the response of
your model. Shortly before the helicopter starts hovering, you can already determine in which direction your model
wants to move.
If the helicopter wants to turn to the right with the tip of the fuselage, reduce the speed and operate the left control area
for the trimming function (see figure 5, item 8). The display bar will then move slowly from the centre to the left.
Push the speed control area carefully upwards and check if the adjustment was sufficient. Keep repeating this procedure
until the helicopter no longer has any tendency to turn to the right.
If the tip of the fuselage turns to the left, carry out a right trim adjustment.
